BARONSDOWN SPECIAL EDITION
Stunning 16.2hh | 7yo | Irish Draught X | Bay Gelding
By Carrigfada Grey Mist
A truly heartbreaking sale of a very special horse who has been part of my life since he was just five months old.
Louie is a stunning, quality 16.2hh 7-year-old Irish Draught X gelding with three beautiful paces, a wonderful temperament and an enormous amount still to give.
I bought Louie when he was just two weeks old and he came home to me at five months. Since then, he has been given the time to grow, mature and develop slowly, without ever being rushed.
Louie is an absolute pleasure to have around and genuinely one of the easiest horses I have ever known.
He is incredibly affectionate and a real character on the yard. He loves people, thrives on attention and is straightforward to handle, he is good for the farrier, vet and loading.
He hacks alone and in company and is absolutely fantastic in open spaces. He is never strong or hot-headed — you can have a gallop across an open field, bring him back within seconds and have him trotting along quietly again.
He is good in traffic, although he can occasionally be spooky at something completely insignificant.
Louie has been slowly and carefully produced and has a lovely foundation to build upon.
He has three beautiful, expressive paces, is light in the hand, incredibly willing and a very quick learner. He always wants to please and gives you a wonderful feeling when schooling.
He has been reasonably schooled but is now at the stage where somebody could really step up his education and develop him into something special.
I genuinely believe he could have a fantastic future in dressage or the show ring, with the quality, presence and temperament to turn heads.
This is not an easy sale and finding the right person is far more important to me than simply selling him.
I feel he would particularly suit a confident teenager or adult, somebody looking for their next best friend, or potentially a mother/daughter share.
He could equally suit somebody wanting a quality horse to continue producing for dressage/showing, or simply someone wanting a genuinely lovely all-round horse to enjoy and progress with.
He has so much personality, affection and ability to give the right person.
Serious enquiries only please.
